LANSING, MI - The Michigan Republican Party today announced that the
60 Republican delegates to the National Convention will be allocated based
on Tuesday's results, in the following manner:

Romney 45 Delegates
McCain 10 Delegates
Huckabee 2 Delegates

Gov. Romney won 13 of the 15 Congressional Districts, Sen. McCain won
the 1st and 6th Congressional Districts and Gov. Huckabee was allocated
two of the
At-Large delegates.

Regular delegates are allocated "winner take all" by congressional district.
Meaning, the winner in each of Michigan's 15 Congressional Districts will
receive the three delegates from that district. The proportion of the statewide
vote that was cast for each candidate allocates the 12 at-large delegates.
Candidates needed at least 15-percent of the total votes cast to qualify
for a portion of the at-large delegates. Finally, the RNC-member delegates
- Chairman Saul Anuzis, National Committeewoman Holly Hughes, and National
Committeeman Chuck Yob - are uncommitted delegates to the national convention.

Based on a unanimous vote of the Michigan Republican State Committee,
the Michigan Republican Party will allocate and send its entire delegation
of 60 delegates to the national convention.

Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land today announced that approximately
1.48 million voters - or 20.7 percent - cast ballots in Michigan's presidential
primary election Tuesday, based on unofficial returns.

That ranks Tuesday's turnout as the third highest in the history of
Michigan's presidential primaries. The record turnout was in 1972 with
more than 1.9 million voters while 1976 saw the second-highest number of
voters at more than 1.7 million.

"I want to thank everyone who took the time to participate," said Land,
Michigan's chief elections officer. "I often say ‘your vote is your voice'
and voters have taken the time to make their voices heard.

"I also applaud all of the clerks and election inspectors who worked
so tirelessly to make this election possible. The compressed time frame
meant many clerks worked overtime to make sure voters had the opportunity
to cast their ballots in the presidential nomination process."

Land reminded residents to check the Michigan Voter Information Center
as the August primary and November general elections approach. The Web
site is www.michigan.gov/vote. Voters can find their polling place and
clerk's office, as well as information on registering to vote, absentee
voting, and voting equipment.

Land’s “Dirty Little Secrets”
About the Primary Election

Land refuses to acknowledge serious
problems

LANSING- While Secretary of State Terri Land breaks her arm patting
herself on the back about Tuesday’s primary election, these are some of
the dirty little secrets - serious problems - about the election she will
not tell you:

* In at least 27 counties - 1/3 of the counties in
the state - vote tabulators were misprogrammed and counted uncommitted
votes with write-in votes.

* Throughout the state, thousands of voters - perhaps
tens of thousands - cast write-in votes which were not counted because
Land did no voter education prior to or on election day to advise those
voters about Michigan’s write-in procedures.

“The voters of this state deserve the truth about Tuesday’s election
problems, rather than self-serving propaganda,” said Michigan Democratic
Party Chair Mark Brewer. “Land has an obligation to tell the voters
how she will prevent these problems in future elections. The voters
are waiting.”
